Burnley vs. Olympiacos live stream: Watch Europa League online
By Dan Voicescu
Burnley host Olympiacos at Turf Moor Stadium on Thursday, Aug. 30. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Burnley is one win away from qualifying for the Europa League proper after a 52 year absences from European soccer. To do so, Sean Dyche’s men must turn around a 3-1 loss away in Athens, after they were down to ten men following Ben Gibson’s red card. Dyche was furious with the referees performance after the game blaming them for succumbing to the pressure of the home crowd. To make matters worse, Dyche will be without Johann Berg Gudmunsson, who was taken off with a hamstring injury during the loss at Fulham, alongside the long list of injuries that includes Robbie Brady, Steven Defour, Nick Pope and Anders Lindegaard.
Matej Vydra, last season’s top scorer in the Championship could be making his start for the Clarets as they will be needing all the firepower at their disposal to overcome the two-goal deficit.
Olympiacos come in with a nice two goal cushion and no injury concerns to worry about. However their record away to English competition leaves a lot to be desired, having lost their last 12 of 13 games on the road.
